Fashion in Croatia is….surprising. Most young men wear sweatpants (loose on top and tight at the ankle) with—I’m not lying—fanny packs. With the young ladies, jeggings with cropped leather jackets and giant white tennis shoes is a popular look. Adidas track suits are very much a thing for both sexes. And of course, the main accessory is a cigarette.

If my career in Chicago’s art world doesn’t work out, I’m thinking of going into the frog taxidermy museum business in Split as a backup plan.
